Abstract EN
Several procedures have been recommended to induce the root end barrier formation in teeth with open apices.
Conventional treatment for such cases will require many appointments with an average duration of 12.9 months.
During this period, the root canal is susceptible to reinfection from around the provisional restoration, which may promote apical periodontitis and arrest of apical repair.
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been successfully used for one visit apexification wherein the root canal can be obturated within 24 hours after placement of MTA.
Using a matrix prior to the placement of MTA avoids its extrusion, reduces leakage in the sealing material, and allows favorable response of the periapical tissues.
This report presents a case of apexification where an absorbable suture was used as an apical matrix.
Use of an absorbable suture circumvents all the problems associated with other conventional materials.
Conclusion.
Placement of the matrix made from the suture material is predictable and is easily positioned at the apex and the length can be adjusted as required.
10-month follow-up of the case shows resorbed matrix and bone healing in the periapical region.
The patient was asymptomatic during the whole follow-up period and tooth exhibited mobility within physiologic limits and was functioning normally.
